Vintage - Sage and Auburn
An oil-painting-style portrait of two young men styled as the cover of a fictional August 1957 Cape Cod vacation edition. A fair-haired man looks straight out at the viewer while his auburn-haired companion wraps an arm across his chest from behind, both holding the same steady, guarded gaze. Behind them, sage-green walls swirl with ivory rococo scrollwork and touches of terracotta. The VINTAGE masthead and the "The Summer House – Hold Me Quietly" cover line suggest a summer romance kept between the two of them — masculine retro wall art in soft sage and warm skin tones.
Perfect for:
- Adding a calm, masculine focal point to a bedroom, living room or guest room wall
- Collectors of vintage magazine cover art and classic figure illustration
- A boyfriend, husband or anniversary gift for a couple with a taste for retro queer art
- Sage green, teal and warm-neutral interiors, from mid-century to modern country

This piece belongs to an ever-growing collection of original wall art styled as the fictional fashion and lifestyle magazine covers of mid-century America and Europe — invented titles, imagined issue numbers, a glamour that never was. The mastheads and cover lines are part of the period styling, and every cover is an original design created and produced by imagii.
